Abstract (en)

The present invention relates to a method for transitioning a gas-phase polyolefin reactor system. The gas phase polyolefin reactor system comprises- a gas phase polyolefin reactor (160),- a heat exchanger (170),- a separator tank (175), and- a compressor (150).An input stream (105) comprising a reactant component is supplied from a header to the gas-phase polyolefin reactor (160) through a steady state control valve (110) or through a bypass valve (115) and a high-flow valve (130). During normal operation the input stream (105) comprising the reactant component is directed through a steady-state control valve (110) to the low-pressure side of the compressor (150). During a transition the input stream (105) comprising the reactant component is passed to the reactor through the by-pass valve (115) and the high flow valve (130) to the high pressure side of the compressor (150).
